  DesignedUp is a practical, inspiring guide for modern designers working at the intersection of technology, consultancy, and agency life. It’s written for practitioners who choose to plot their own path across complex organisations, balancing competing priorities while striving to make meaningful impact. 
   
  Praised by John Maeda, VP of Design and Artificial Intelligence at Microsoft, as a refreshing antidote to career stagnation, and by Jeff Gotthelf, author of Lean UX and Sense & Respond, as a roadmap to redesigning how organisations work, DesignedUp tackles a challenge many designers know well: being undervalued, misunderstood or sidelined in tech-led environments. 
   
  When design is treated as a “nice extra” rather than a strategic driver, influence is lost. DesignedUp shows you how to change that. 
   
  Drawing on frameworks, methods, and real-world stories from global technology and design leaders, including Rebecca Parsons at Thoughtworks, Andreas Markdalen at frog, Lauren Pleydell-Pearce at PwC UK, and Andy Polaine, formerly of Fjord, this book shows you how to: 
   
  Harness your strengths 
  Speak the language of business and technology 
  Influence engineers, stakeholders, and executives 
  Make compelling design arguments that resonate 
  Turn leaders into design champions 
   
  DesignedUp helps you move from the margins to the centre, so design doesn’t just get a seat at the table, it reshapes it!

  In an era dominated by big data, mastering the art of building and maintaining data-intensive applications is crucial for any technology professional. "Mastering Data-Intensive Applications: Design, Scale, and Optimization" is a comprehensive guide that delves into the architectures, technologies, and practices essential for handling massive datasets efficiently and reliably. 
  This book begins by defining what makes an application data-intensive and explores the key challenges such as scalability, reliability, efficiency, and maintainability. Readers will learn about various storage options—from traditional relational databases to innovative NoSQL solutions—and understand when and how to use them effectively. The discussion extends to data distribution techniques, including partitioning and replication, essential for building fault-tolerant systems that can scale. 
  Further chapters focus on the nuts and bolts of data-intensive operations, including indexing, search, caching, batch and stream processing, and data integration. Each topic is covered with clear explanations, practical examples, and real-world case studies to demonstrate the application of these technologies in today’s leading companies. 
  Security and compliance are not overlooked; the book provides a thorough overview of the necessary practices to keep data secure and applications compliant with global regulations. Additionally, readers are equipped with strategies for scalability and performance tuning, helping them to improve existing systems and build efficient new systems from the ground up. 
  "Mastering Data-Intensive Applications" is an invaluable resource for software engineers, system architects, data scientists, and IT managers. Whether you are looking to deepen your existing knowledge or venturing into the field of data-intensive applications for the first time, this book offers the insights and tools needed to excel in this dynamic field.

  Time Waves - How To Spot Them...

  What if time isn’t a straight line—but a wave you can ride? 
  In Time Waves, Michael Mathiesen invites readers on a mind-bending journey through the quantum surf of reality itself. Blending cutting-edge physics, mythic resonance, and visionary storytelling, this book challenges everything we think we know about time, consciousness, and our place in the universe. 
  Drawing inspiration from quantum mechanics, gravitational wave theory, Jungian archetypes, and the poetic elegance of wave interference, Mathiesen proposes a radical new framework: time is not a passive backdrop to our lives—it’s an active, dynamic field of energy, pulsing with rhythms we can learn to detect, interpret, and even harness. 
  Spot the Patterns. Feel the Pull. Catch the Wave. 
  Whether you're a physicist, philosopher, seeker, or surfer of ideas, Time Waves offers a toolkit for navigating the unseen forces shaping our lives. Through vivid metaphors, scientific rigor, and speculative leaps, Mathiesen explores: 
  The anatomy of a time wave—how resonance, amplitude, and phase shifts mirror our lived experience. 
  Interference patterns of destiny—why some moments feel “meant to be” and others spiral into chaos. 
  The surfer’s mindset—how intuition, timing, and flow state align with quantum principles. 
  Atomic clocks and cosmic choreography—a visionary proposal to ESA and NASA to detect time waves via the LISA mission. 
  Mythology meets physics—from Hermes to Hawking, how ancient symbols echo modern science.
